A Tickle in the Heart is the story of Max, Willie and Julie Epstein, three brothers who began playing Klezmer music sixty years ago in New York. Back then, they were the kings of Klezmer. But the times changed, Klezmer all but died out and the Epsteins retired to Florida to play for friends and relatives at senior citizen’s centers and simchas. But when the octogenarian Epstein brothers are invited to play a series of concerts in Germany, they are astonished to find themselves peforming to packed houses. The crowds are young and old, Jewish and Gentile, all of them responding to the infectious, honest emotion that Klezmer music inspires.
